Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Creeksea
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and vertical risers. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Creeksea it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Most kitchens in Creeksea fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a village or hamlet like Creeksea, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Creeksea.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What affects the quote in Creeksea
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Common questions in Creeksea
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Creeksea?
That’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you work in Creeksea outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Grease, kitchens and Creeksea
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Creeksea. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Creeksea is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Creeksea, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maldon council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Creeksea, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ormiston Rivers Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
